I was a witch too before Christ saved me. I cried while watching this, my story is very similar. Christians, stay away from the enneagram and the word of faith movement. The truth of who you are is found in the Bible.
"She turned me into a newt!....I got better"
That's great Dana!! Jesus saved you and set you free!!🙏☀️
My pastor talked about the enneagram this weekend as being a great spiritual tool. I know his heart is right, but I don’t know about elevating it to that.
@@felicityh.1947 Felicity, the main thing is that you know that your heart is right.. when you put your trust and faith in Christ you were given a new heart and your old wicked heart is gone forever.. and you can follow your heart along with the truth of the word of God .. have you checked out Andrew Farley's new book the perfect heart?
@@felicityh.1947 I've heard pastors do this but the thing that I understand now is that it can't help because it takes away from denying self and dieing to self and allowing God to change you. It focuses on self and understanding self when we are to change out side of self and become like God. We are like God because our brain in the power of our body. And God is power. It's not our body that is like God but out mind. That's why the law of attraction is so attractive because we can think something and it will happen. That's why we have to change out mind to be like Christ and our helmet is the helmet of salvation and we have to work out out own salvation in out minds. It's so beautiful but it gets misinterpreted through going outside of who God is to find God. You won't find God you will find god of this world (which is the spirit of the world and not the actual world) (Satan)
In 1981,after many years of reading New Age etc. which I now believe is also occult, I was so confused that I cried out to God. Crying, I told Him that I didn't know what to do. Jesus spoke to me these 3 words very clearly, "Read your Bible". It's been a long and winding road. Now I am 71 and still following Jesus more than ever. Thank you, Jan, for sharing your story with Alisa. I pray it will help anyone who will listen, that they will turn their life over to Jesus.
Amen. I was involved in the church of Thelema: Aleister Crowley. I was spiritually corrupted for years in this falsehood. Jesus took me out of this and set my feet upon the Rock of Ages. I was living in the enemies camp and believed that I was on the path of knowledge. I was so wrong and so deceived. I was abusing alcohol and opiates. In the end it was not Crowley... It was the devil who had me in his grasp. I was blind and Christ gave me back my true vision. Praise Jesus for His mercy and His true forgiveness. I leave you with a warning: Stay away from the occult. Walk in the Holy Spirit and stay in the good Grace of God. God Bless you and keep you.
That's amazing 💗 I would love to hear your whole testimony on Spirit Answers Podcast! You can reach out to him right here on UA-cam. Thelema is so seductive. I used to have a friend who was a Thelemite and he was basically insane. I had to cut ties with him totally when I became a Christian. So glad Jesus got a hold of you!!
Allister Crowley was like an evil child of Satan. I hope he likes Hell.
Good testimony. I am saved also from great darkness.
Praise Jesus! There is no pit too deep, nor any darkness or sin that He cannot overcome! When He said He came to set captives free, He meant it!
Before Jesus and Christianity people like you and me lived for tens of thousands of years. What did they do for salvation, or was it just not an option for them?
When I became a Christian after being in the occult for years, the unfortunate thing I noticed is that the Christians who were my age who I "looked up to" spiritually because they had been walking with the Lord for so long at that point, it is very hard for them to hear or listen to when I say something they are reading or interested in "seems fishy". I felt just completely ignored and unheard whenever i would mention anything, as if i had no credibility, most of the time.
Maybe some of that was my fault for not speaking up loudly enough about things, but... Seriously... We need to be willing to listen to one another with a greater desire for truth than these compelling seductive things. We need to love the truth. We need to love Jesus and each other... And when that's not happening, pray.
I have heard what you said here and I have had the same thing with my life and some people who I was in the same church with and I was going through a counselling session with and one of them was a great guy who was a mature Christian and he worked for a healing ministry and he did deliverance ministry and he had a very good insight and discernment however the lady who was with him in each meeting with them she was so negative about everything and her husband who was not in the meetings but in the other groups in church they always seemed to make me feel worse about everything I was doing or saying. I must admit that I have never been as hurt or as let down by Christians than anyone else in my life and although it affected me it actually made me closer to the lord and gave me a good understanding about the dynamics in church politics and leadership than ever before! Yes it is good to have fellowship but we need to get our roots and our hearts on Jesus and not in a church because at the end of the day we are the church not a building!
i noticed last year and more this year of the from new age spirituality to christian testimonies, i couldn't believe it as there's former lightworker's, spiritualists, ghost hunter's, shaman, starseed's etc.. doing testimonies. i can remember asking a spiritual youtuber about this and she said about the responsibility and shadow inner work needing to be done, but if you notice alot of the spiritual channel's were making alot of money last year and people were paying 100's to the top channel's for deeper reading's, it does seem like a business tactic the way it's designed and packaged to draw people in with talk like new energies for october, big changes and your twinflame is coming lol i've heard that before and people will pay more deeper reading's and hit rock bottom eventually like they talk about in the testimony videos. it's quite interesting observering this.
@@gazster Jesus is unstoppable
"I felt just completely ignored and unheard..." It's NOT you. Satin is the great deceiver. He does whatever he can to distract. He doesn't have to convert, but only distract.
Karen, I totally understand. I was having demonic dreams/ attacks when I first was saved many years ago and when I asked my pastor about what to do- he told me to stop eating so much pizza before bed…🤦🏻♀️. It’s called discernment- when you can sense something is off… people don’t like to be even kindly confronted sometimes unfortunately… tell them once of your concern and let the Holy Spirit do the rest…
“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.” Genesis 50:20
Childhood sexual abuse, breaks spiritual boundaries that protect children. I believe this is one form of abuse that leaves children so vulnerable to spiritual entities. I believe Jesus’ words about “whoever harms one of these little ones……..it would be better that a millstone be tied to his neck & he flung into the sea” gives an idea that Jesus knew just how precious a child’s innocence is.
As someone who was abused by a family member which I still have never told my parents after 30 years, I feel a little more special that I was able to maintain a relationship with Christ. Even if at times it waivered, I still have Him. The family member has struggled with divorce and relationships his entire life and I believe it has much to do with this.
I think you are right why else would Satan want this to happen why. You are smart
@@Vwink1528 Jesus heal my brother amen
Why would God stop protecting a little kid spiritually cause someone else hurt THEM? that doesn’t make any sense to me.
@@shea5542 sometimes i have been very angry at God. I don't understand this life but I see much of this good and evil
Amazing testimony! Thank you. I am an ex Mormon, ex religion from India, ex reiki practitioner, ex toxic relationship, suicedle survivor and more. Until I had an Encounter with God in my house. His mercy, and love for us is beyond our human comprehension!
“I loved my sin”… soooo much truth in this. It took me 49 years to break free of that mindset. What a blessing to hear you share and find this freedom so early. So proud of you! Praise God for His grace on your life.
Praise God for being so faithful and drawing this young lady back to Him. Jesus is the only way!
Jesus is the only way- John 14:6 but this lady and this channel promotes a false gospel. The true gospel is a proclamation of who Jesus is and what He did for His elect only.
@@cashwillis841 who's the elect? Jesus told us to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Sounds like you are the one with a false gospel. Jesus was the sacrifice for our sin and ALL who believe in him, will have eternal life. John 3:16 says who ever and not an elect people.
@@Strongtower You believe a false gospel. Instead of twisting verses like John 3:16 why dont you read the whole book of John to get the context?
Thank you for sharing this testimony. It has addressed some of the concerns I have had about the direction Disney has taken and also the HP craze.
@@cashwillis841 I'm not going to get into a three hour long discussion with you, I've been down that road, but your belief in determinism and all that goes with it is so un Biblical, and don't give me "you don't understand Calvinism", I understand it better than you. And no, I an not an Arminian. Good day.
I so appreciate your candid commentary on how the occult led you astray, particularly in how white and dark magic are both evil. Praise Jesus that He pulled you into His good, true, and perfect light.
White magic is not evil. God gave us powers to heal, and do ALL THINGS that Christ did, and Yeshua (Jesus) makes that clear that we can do the things he did. Without Moses story being told in the Bible he’d just have been doing magic, just as Pharoh said when he denied the signs from the Most High. Imagine a guy with a staff like a wizard bringing natural distasters and plague. Also Using the herbs that God allowed to be grown for us instead of harmful OTC drugs, performing love healing and body healings through energy work this has been done for millions of years (probably billions since the oldest mortar and Pestle is 4 billion years old declassified by the CIA) it’s got to stop to be demonizing the Power of God within us.
Also remember that the Christ is within us, and not the body of Jesus being worshipped on the Cross.
Bod bless you. And open your heart and mind to the truths of the Universal Supreme God, the Most High, you sent us his only Son to show us spiritual awakening and Baptism AKA Purification , and to show us that wickedness is in the ones that judge and persecute others
I’m so grateful to God for putting this on my UA-cam feed. I have been seriously considering doing a psychedelic mushroom trip with some friends who rave about how beautiful and beneficial the experience is for self growth. God has been putting on my heart that wisdom come through him and only his word, yet I believe Satan has been deceiving me that I can somehow find out more and get closer to God through psychedelic mushrooms. This video came at the perfect time to warn me that this is deception and I won’t get satisfaction from anything but Christ.
Don't do it...you will be attacked...
Yes! Try micro-dosing the mushrooms. Very beneficial and healing 💜 It legal for use in a few states in US
God grew the psychedelic mushrooms just like he did marijuana. He literally created everything.
I forgot to add psychedelic mushrooms can actually create new brain paths and help with certain mental illnesses.
It’s not Satan, it’s misinformation.
Psychedelic mushrooms are natural.
Don’t do it. And yeah he may grew the magic mushrooms, as the other comment says, but there are also poisonous berries on the earth… should you eat those too?
As a former neo-pagan witch turned Christian, so much of her story resonants with me and my personal experience. Makes me reflect on how unoriginal Satan is...
Why would you go from being spiritual to being a fundamentalist literalist christian who follows dogmatic teachings. You progress backwards to dogma that's actually sad.

My moms prayers saved me.
“In Christ are all the mysteries” I love this
This video started playing randomly for me. I’ve never been to your channel but I really needed to hear this. Thank you for your thoughtful questions and allowing her to speak. I am shocked at how similar my story is to hers. This is a topic that needs to be heard by many of my peers. It’s easy to get lost out here.
Well holy molly baby Jesus.
That happened yo me too!! I came across this wonderful Woman perchance. Very healing and illuminating and enlightening. Jesus saves us
@@jjbentley9 Amen dude
God works in mysterious ways.
TrueC, What seemed random to you was actually not random at all. Somewhere in your life there were probably people or loved ones praying for you. The older I get (65) I have come to believe there are no coincidences. God Bless you!
That’s so interesting about Disney. I think that’s definitely something that every parent should be prayerful about how to approach. My parents made it very clear to me that magic isn’t real and that true power comes from God. That truth was so ingrained in me that even though I watched Disney movies as a kid, I still find “real magic” and sorcery weird and evil. My parents ultimately framed it as “magic is fun to imagine, but it’s not meant as something to do in real life”.
@Autumn Johnson My parents taught the same. It seemed inherent in the ‘50s Christian raised parents to explain it that way & worked well for most everyone I grew up with. There is reality and there is fantasy. A concept obviously confusing to some people today. It seems that the society of 1950’s America based on the Christian belief & social system of that time was pervasive and accepted in the Christian values taught to children not only for the sake of the individual, but for a better social structure. Since the ‘60s it seems to me people are confused on the difference of reality & fantasy, which I contribute mainly to the loss of ‘certainty’ & knowledge of God’s Word, which gives one a much stronger set of values & foundation for their own lives & that of society. Just my observation & probably poorly put forward! I really enjoyed this interview & discussion. Thank you for all your time & effort in creating this vid for people to ponder & learn from!
Walt Disney was a 33rd degree Mason. there is a youtube video called the Disney deception very informing.
The question that has always come to my mind is: "Why on earth would we want to imagine a world where God is not?" I think that's a warning sign right there and just a brick in the spiritual maze that Satan leads us into and away from God even though we might have a distant view of the light and even think we are heading there, when in fact we're going nowhere or even in the opposite direction.
Same, my parents were clear about magic. They actually told us that it WAS real and used Disney and other stories to help us learn the difference between the power of God and the perverse counterfeit.
The thing is that magic is evil and it is real there are real witches but people act like there aren't. If Witches weren't real and the list of the types of stuff they go thru in the Bible then why would the Bible bring it up? I dunno why people think it's ok to imagine it. NOPE! It's not harmless. I was taught that for a long time as an artist it was ok for me to write about magic etc and to draw it and that it was harmless fun and fantasy. But it's not fantasy or fun or good! It's real!

This was amazing! Seeing God´s grace in the deepest darkness. She cried "Jesus save me" and he saves with the deepest love and mercy. Thank you both!!
Thank you also from me
It's almost like you were already converted and she was preaching to the converted, so there was no counter argument made, no dissention allowed. How brave of you to come here and have your biases reinforced by a group of fellow crazy cultists. 🤔
@@_Smarf_ The topic is not a discussion about Christianity, but the Testimony of someone who has been in the Occult. If you want to see Debates about Christianity, then this channel has other numerous videos. Btw it is not very brave of you either to insult Christians anonymously :)
@@HvaljenIsus 1st. we're both anonymous, so get off that high horse of yours. I'm not posting my personal information because I'm not a fool.
2nd. this video is about "crazy" people that were in religions that aren't christian, turning to christianity, on a super pro-christian channel that tries to feign some level objectivity.
3rd. You are butt hurt because what I said is true and you know it. You surround yourself with people that agree with you so you won't be challenged in anyway because christianity is a house of cards too easily blown over.
4th. Your "brave" passive aggressive shade is weak sauce. Very weak sauce. If you were planning on entering that sauce in the county fair, I would not recommend it. 🌶🌶🌶
@@_Smarf_ I am actually very engaged in regularly watching Videos by Atheists and debates between Christians and Atheists. Assuming things about people you don't know is the problem and anger is not solving it
Wow. God has a purpose for this testimony. She didn’t go through this for nothing. I love you both. I am so honored to be in this community of believers.
You know this is fake right? There are other interviews where she says this verbatim. There are dozens of fake interviews online.
Wow this is the first time I’ve heard anyone from the Crowleyan school of the occult give a testimony. There’s not many of us who come out of that darkness.

I noticed that there are increasingly more books centered on witches, witchcraft and the supernatural targeting young kids and teens.
Yes unfortunately.
UA-cam videos! There's a whole movement going on out there pulling young people into the dark using love and benevolence to lure them in very dicey choppy Waters out there and the poor kids have no idea what roads are going down
Yes there is. I noticed that last year when I went to Barns & Noble to buy some books for my child and half or more of the books were about magic. We will be publishing our own books to fill the gap!
Its a movement by design
They will overtake us without firing a shot
Check out Jeremiah cohen's UA-cam!
Looking at the looks of Alisa gives me the impression of a person of compassion, sympathy, patience and understanding. She listens.

A TRUE woman of God-which is a rarity now a days.
Almost exactly like my story except I was in foster care when I was exposed to Jesus., I also developed the Jezebel spirit from sexual abuse around 6 years old and she tormented me for years...I'm now a born again Christian for the last 2 1/2 years, and I'm on fire for the Lord. My calling is similar to yours and to get the lukewarm Christians and new age back to Christ. ❤🙏 Amen
Oh sweetie calling yourself the Jezebel spirit (which is a lie) after being abused is so unhealthy. I hope you're ok and not getting more bad treatment.
@smokyquartz5817
The occult is truly wicked. Get away from it. Dont discourage this young lady. Some of this abuse is spiritually damaging and demonic.
Also posting a snarky sweety and then posting sanctimonious nonsense doesnt help. I have fallen into this kind of pride myself and it is spiritually dark and blinds us.
Cartoons are conditioning children, it’s sad how some Christian parents are so desensitized to point they don’t realize it. They need maturing in their faith before they can help their children.🙏
Ephesians 6:18
“Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints”

Near the end, you mentioned your hesitancy to talk about some of the mason stuff. Thank you for saying that, I was thinking about that the entire interview, about if I ever said anything from my past involvement in a large private organization similar to yours. They have a lot of worldly power, and swearing us to secrecy. And what they do to defectors…. It’s scary. You’re very brave to step out and go public about this. Your testimony is so fruitful for me to hear, because your entire life is very paralleled to mine. Thank you sister. ♥️🙏🏽♥️

This was an EXCELLENT interview. The interviewer is a good listener and knew all the right questions to ask. Thank you.
For as many folks who’d get angry at your grandpa for being so blunt, it’s beautiful how God draws our souls to him when the Gospel is plainly vocalized.
Great interview. Jac is so on point. Christ-conciousness is soooooo dangerous because the new age folks like to use that as a wider inclusive way of looking at all of us.....but they won't shy away that it is completely opposite from the Christ of Scripture. This is why spending time in scripture, being in community and always asking questions of discernment is critical!
So true about Christ consciousness and the importance of devoting ourselves to Scripture and being in fellowship. Defining terms is extremely important. I said I believed in Jesus for most of my life, but my idea of Jesus was so far away from the true Jesus revealed in Scripture. Thank you for the encouragement, Jeff!
Amen!
@Darren: You are born again, so why the hood?
Yea man I was playing with astral projection. And other thing because I came into contact with a grey/nephilim/fallen entity. One of them things. Then after that I was havin sleep paralysis for 2.5 years straight and I was trying to kill myself with xaxan an pain pills. 15 overdoses blown up over seas. Motorcycle accident 87 mph. And I am fine walking running it's so crazy God kept me around for something. God bless bro

I too got sucked into new age and the occult as a Christian by reading The Secret. That book was like a gateway drug. I so appreciate your story and powerful testimony Jac!
@@louleeo7789 tell me what the huge deception is? Im curious about what you know.
I too started off with The Secret in 2017 and it took me down a rabbit's hole. I am grateful God took ne out of it last year abd I got delivered of depression.
What is The Secret? Does it have things about witchcraft?
@@MysticOceanDollies It's the 'new age' bunk about how we literally create reality with our thoughts & intentions. It's the re-packaged lie of Satan in the Garden of Eden that we are God.
Yes, lots of love for the new age people. God bless them, I was there once - no judgement from me. Jesus is far better - take the Pepsi challenge and give your life to Jesus for a month! Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
I had that same experience, where I felt my soul "falling" in the darkness, and I shouted "God please, get me out of this hell!!!!!" And I actually felt my soul being sucked out of the darkness into the light. I've been living with God in my heart since then
So need this! 😢
My bloodline was in the council of 13 and were high up Druid priests. I was delivered directly by the Lord after He paralyzed me and stopped my heart from beating and spoke to me, "Get out of Black Magic or I will kill you." I agreed and God released me immediately and I became a Christian.
Glory to God!!!!

My own experience leaving witchcraft was brutal. Asides from the spiritual melee that ensued which was shocking but 100% handled by the Holy Spirit, the pagan community HATES Christianity and anyone who declares Jesus.
I still get the occasional threat of curses (once again, God’s not bothered so neither am I) and there’s content on SM calling me delusional, rude, intolerant and stupid.
Nobody chooses this without a huge reason and the undeniable nature of God.
She’s brave and I’m in her corner 👏🏻💚
Wow sister I had a similar experience
My friend was also delivered from witchcraft and like you was subject to awful abuse and was pursued by satanists. The Lord protected her but it was a process of deliverance that really affected her in every aspect of her life for years.
It sounds like you have an addictive personality; "latching onto things"... "clingy." Christianity is drowning in the occult, as it was born right out of Egyptian mythology and sun worship. Jesus ("the son" .. "the light of the world") is an allegory for Horus ("the sun" .. "the light of the world"). The word Amen comes directly from the Egyptian invocation "Amon-Ra" (To the God Ra). The word Israel is a reference to the Egypian/Phonecian deities "Isis-Ra-El." EL is the god of Saturn, or in other words: Satan. The Sun cults warred with the Saturn cults for many centuries. That's why Jesus (Solar) is insulted in the Talmud (Saturnian). What could be more occultic than Christianity?
@@pamle1 spoken like a true satanist.
@@pamle1 I would like to recommend you check out InspiringPhilsophy's video on the Jesus vs. Horus debate. The word "Amen" is also not linked to Amon, it's linked to a Hebrew word often translated as faithfulness or truth, "Emet."
The Charismatic Movement led me into the occult. I was very steeped in it until I had gone completely mentally insane. I cried out to God and asked for the truth because I was so confused. The Holy Spirit revealed to my heart that Jesus is the way, the truth, the life. I saw my wicked sin for the first time and was overcome with grief because of it. I praise my Savior for His patience with me and His gentleness to draw me to Himself. Life is still hard but I have so much peace that Jesus saved me from darkness and that I am never alone. 🙏🏻
Woo, praise God!!
I have some family in the Charismatic Movement I am concerned about. I believe they are saved and just caught up in the power it promotes …. They appear to love the bible. At least they used to. They don’t believe Paul’s writings are gods words.
I was searching and went down the wrong path. The exact same thing happened to me. Had a psychotic break. Cried out to God for the truth and was overcome with sadness and all my sins smacked me in the face. From that point on I knew the Bible is true, God is real and Jesus is the only way.
Rejoicing with you in your salvation by Christ Jesus, our loving Redeemer!
@@lorenacomeau3377 They're in this so called Charismatic movement but hey don't believe that Paul's writings are God's words? that's so intersting hmm
Very Interesting, I need some more explanation on what the Charismatic Movement does/believes in. Do you, by chance, have a link or a site on what those family members follow?
Jac's humility is a true sign of her allegiance to Christ. Praying protection over her as she continues to share her salvation story. Thanks Alisa for an intriguing interview.
Satan is pretty and intelligent as the Bible describes him. He knows how to deceive even the elect. That is why it’s important to read God’s word everyday and study every word. Our hearts cannot lead us in truth, we need to rely on God’s word to discern right and wrong. So we don’t get misled by pretty glittery things that make us feel okay about ourselves. The occult and new age entice us by allowing us the permissions to give into our flesh. This is the opposite of what God wants. God wants us to live through the spirit.
How to be persistent.Same vigour allways 24 hours 365 days till last breath
Amen!!
What a great testimony! Praise God for saving her life. My involvement in the occult was painful on so many levels. I can only describe it as soul shattering. I went from the occult to Catholicism and then right into the hyper Charismatic Movement, which in my experience, turned out to be demonic and full of lies. But thanks be to God for His mercy and for the grace I found in Jesus. God’s word and His Holy Spirit have washed me clean. Only Jesus Christ can set the captives free! 🙏♥️
I praise and thank The Lord Jesus for His love, mercy, patience towards us. I rejoice with Jac for the salvation of her soul. I pray that she will be protected from every snare of the devil. I pray that she will hold fast to the very end. Amen.
Amen to that. Just to say Catholicism is a way coming into knowing of Jesus, though the Holy spirit cannot be bound by denominations. Thus so
Great interview. So many parallels with hyper charasmatic movement. Seeking power, hysterical laughing, mini Christ theology. So thankful that God has pulled you out of this and allowed your life to shine as one of His trophies of Grace
Similar to new age
Well said❣
There can be no trophies in Christianity. Beware of the words. Metaphors can inhibit the holy spirit as poor actors on the stage. Ref to: Plato's Cave. Amen
@@Tristan-om2ff I didn't say she would get a trophy or anything about a trophy in heaven. Please re read what I said. Her life is as a trophy of Grace meaning it was only by God's grace that her life is shining as a victory. I'm simply staying that all of us who have been delivered by God's Grace are reflecting how HE won the battle in our lives over sin and death Also Metaphors are commonly used in the bible. I dont think metaphors can inhibit the holy spirit as poor actors on the stage unless they are incorrect metaphors
God bless
My family is currently in a church where they encourage using the enneagram. I looked into it and it red flagged me immediately. I tried sharing with them but was rejected. I clicked on this podcast just to listen, had no clue she speaks on the enneagram. God always finds a way to lead me to His truth ❤️❤️
Hello how are you doing😎😎😎
My daughter went down this path and she got herself cleaned and she had mentioned what the guest did, that’s my daughter cried out to the Lord and she was saved at that time. God bless those of you that are dealing with this, yourself or with a loved one.
Testimonials like this truly show regardless of how spiritually filthy the person gets he or she is never too far beyond God's reach. Our God is sovereign and He will not lose one of His children to evil.
Very true, our God is loving
Amen 🙏💗
@@leahcimnaerc9543 but yet Jesus was fit to state the father of the Pharisees was the devil. I couldn't disagree with you more. If you're not born again you're not a child of God.
AMEN!
HE'LL LEAVE THE 99 TO GO FIND THE 1!
@Leahcim naerc Definitely he looses some, but not from leaving them... The ones he loses are the ones that walk away from him. The whole point is that we have a choice, free will, to choose him or turn away. One can always turn back... thank God!
I thank God for saving this woman, and hope she is healed from the abuse and injustice she endured. No doubt her story will help others caught up in the chains which bind them.
Amen❣️❣️❣️❣️
I’m so thankful for courageous hearts like yours, Jac, who follow the nudging and call of the Lord to speak about your testimony, story, journey, background that was one from death to life in Christ. No doubt the enemy wants to keep you silent, but you followed boldly in Jesus name to make His glory known. This was such an encouragement to me. Thank you to both you and Alisa!
This brought me to tears. Several years ago, satan tried to get a deep foothold in my life. I was engaging in so much immorality and evil and now listening to this, I see even the small things he was trying to do to get me away from Christ and closer to him. Praise God that Jesus Christ pulled me out of the pit and saved me. Thank you for sharing your story. People need to hear things like this because satan promises great things, but they are all lies. Don’t fall for it.
May God protect us from deception of our spirits.
@Miss M when I said 'our' I meant everyone watching this. I didn't mean anything demonic
This is the first time I have ever listened to this channel…but here are my thoughts …here is a young lady ..she’s very intelligent and very articulate..who has ran the gambit of the enemy’s deceptive devices who is now flipping the glamour off the face of new age “ knowledge” seeking for God’s glory. I absolutely love testimonials like this.
We all know on a deep level that the spiritual realm is real, and yet the “religious” approved churches have abandoned the spiritual realm of God, claiming that it doesn’t exist any more. That there may be angels under very special circumstances but most spiritual realm stuff is evil or pretend according to this theology. This leaves the children of God ignorant and defenseless against the spiritual realm and not knowing OUR authority or how to stand in the spiritual realm and how to recognize forces of darkness.
Amen!! The only reason I turned to the new age was because my church couldn't explain or didn't believe the things I was experiencing
Great point! Knowledge is power.
No we don't know..I had no idea about a spiritual realm. None...I was brutally attacked and sifted....I was deceived and was isolated.... Just awful backwards and lost everything anointing no one came to help
Wow the similarities are so so so identical to mine especially the feeling of my soul being sucked into darkness I experienced that exact same thing !!! Jesus is so very gracious 😭💜
Glory to Jesu Christ!!!
I was also abused in the same way and also saw things around the same ages. I've known Jesus my whole life, and it's crazy bc our lives are very parallel. I got into Wicca in high school and played with spirit boards and I was unwittingly allowing more attachments from all this. I started doing drugs and doing stupid things. Fast forward to my 30s, and I had started to wake up to everything in this world and began researching everything from the occult to political things, and began having sleep paralysis. It was happening almost every night until one night, about 3 months into it starting, I called out Jesus' name and immediately woke up. I forsake Him in my early 20s after losing my 1st baby, and that was the first time since that I had called on Him. Now I've learned that when I do any research into aliens(demons) I will have sleep paralysis. It's definitely all connected. I know that Jesus loves me and heard me even when I told Him I hated Him. I believe the abuse was the enemy's first tactic in his plan to destroy my faith and it happens all the time to so many of God's children.
I think you're amazingly strong and it's awesome that your strength and early faith pulled you through. It's not easy, the road is narrow......
God Bless you ladies. Thank you for doing this, and standing up for Jesus and His love for us.
💜
You said a mouthful. God bless you my sister in Christ.
God Bless you* I love you also. (Ps Forsake is Simple Present tense, I know you mean FORSOOK. Which is the past tense in the past. The holyspirit will come to you again very soon
Ps. My father was murdered when I was 5 and my mother died of and overdose on Christmas eve when I was 7. Someone was hitting her her bedroom. It was not easy for me. Jesus loves me and he loves you. He loves us all. His love overcomes all. The holy spirit has plans. Amen. Lets shout out Jesus. Life is a gift. I am so thankful for me mother and father forgiving me life. And to Jesus for saving me and for me being able to read about your suffering and learnt that the spirit has come to you. Be good Amen
I am so sorry you lost you baby. Jesus knows more that we do. Anyway I am so sad. We must endure and livein Jesus name.
Did you see things just out of the blue. I thought you had to be purposefully seeking occult activity to be able to see it.
SOOO grateful that Jac has this opportunity to share her incredible testimony! We have been blessed to be able to get to know her over the last year at our church and she is super sweet and talented (her singing voice is amazing)! Can't wait to see what God does through her story and life. ❤❤👏🏻👏🏻
Yeah, Glad her testimony was heard. But not the testimonies of women who are survivors of Purity Culture. Who cares what they have to say.
🙌👏
@@brandonluker3660 survivors of purity culture? I have heard of this but not in a negative way altho in a very warped way I may have grown up being taught to stay pure altho I rebeled as teens do which how the enemy continued to create chaos in my and my families life but now as a born again Christian I envy those who were truly thought purity but I suppose our enemy who comes to steal kill and destroy can worm his way in anywhere, if given a foot hold which means we all have testimonies eh
What importance tho is how our Saviour has and is healing us thats important eh whether thats having kept us safe from evil or taken us out of it.
So I thank you Jesus for your saving grace 🙌✝️🙌
My dad is a very strong Christian, growing up he always said, "God has no grandchildren, being my daughter won't save you, you have to be His"
It’s telling how often practitioners of witchcraft have abuse in their early childhood. The kingdom of shadows has a tried and true system.
Amazing interview, Alisa!
Everyone should familiarize themselves with John Ramirez's testimony as well. Thank you for sharing your wonderful testimony of God's goodness. It is not God's will that any should perish but come to the knowledge of the Truth that is found in Jesus Christ of Nazareth alone. New Age teaching and the presentation of false Jesus Christs (where people make him in their own image) is a major problem in church, especially in the last days. This witchcraft has infested most churches today! Just as people are recognized by their fruit, so are churches.
2 Peter 2, 2 Timothy 3-4, and Matthew 24 are excellent references, to name a few...
Just as bars and clubs are Satan's playgrounds for adults, Disney has been Satan's playground for kids for a long time. I am not saying everything from Disney is demonic, but we need the discernment of the Holy Spirit to know the difference between what God says is good & acceptable and what is evil & sinful. Also, I make no apology in saying that Harry Potter is demonic and of the Devil. Television has desensitized us to all sorts of evil things, so we need the discernment Jesus Christ provides us so badly these days!
His testimony scares me. It encourages me to say my prayers for sure!
ALL of Disney is occultism, and has so many Christians fooled. My family and I were fooled, and I was raised in a strong Christian home. My family and I have gone to Disney World (Magic Kingdom/Epcot) over 15 times (during the 70's and 80's when it was cheaper). I didn't wake up to the Occultic allusion of Disney until 2019, and I then shared what I discovered with my family. They realized that they too were deceived all of these years. We broke the bond with Disney immediately.
@@ms.charlotte4027 We all as followers of Jesus Christ need to strive after the eternal things of God, seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness, and laying up our treasures in Heaven instead of the fleeting world things that so many people lust/obsess over. We need to invest in ministries that are truly building up God's Kingdom. There are so many hurting people throughout the world, and if we as wealthy 'Christians' do not love on them, blessing them richly with the measure God has blessed, then no one will!
@@onlyJESUS7CHRIST8saves I agree 100%.
I was thinking the same thing. That brother is on 🔥 in the Lord. Sold out to Jesus to the same extreme as he was sorcery. Praise the Lord he is calling people out of witchcraft and sorcery and using these brothers and sisters to come straight for the head of this snake.
I so appreciate this young lady for sharing her life like this. Satan knows our vulnerabilities, but thank the Lord for grabbing Jac.
Her story is different from mine in many ways, but the grace of the Lord, how she felt her soul being taken into darkness and falling to her knees and simply calling on the name of Jesus Christ saved her, that is very similar to my getting saved after years in addiction and feeling like my prayers never went past the ceiling, and demonic visitations for a week straight that lead to this experience is amazing. The Lord has been so gracious to so many of us and I have never looked back.
I fell into a very similar trap and am a recent born again Christian. I found myself feeling with severe mental illness and since moving away from the dark and towards Christ I am doing so much better. I now understand what born again is. I am a different person and I am so thankful for Christ's love and patience. He stood by me and continued to try and bring me to Him even when I hated Him. I was in chains before and with Christ I am free.
Can someone tell me how I get totally set free from chakra mediation opening of chakras these demons are not all gone and I’ve repented of my sin and also all crystals occult stuff I owned
I still feel movement in my body
Jac, I am so incredibly proud of you! How awesome it is that our Lord Jesus saves souls like you and me despite our wrongs! How tender and loving and faithful he is!
He can work through all, because of our backgrounds, that we can be looked at now, and people can see with their own eyes what He has done.....
Hail satan
There is a way set befor me that seems right but leads to death. That's how "feeling good" can be bad. Don't trust feelings , trust the LORD
Amen!
Amen!
Amen!
Proverbs 14: 12 Amen!
She is so lovely. I am so happy the Lord brought you back my sister.
I have to say, I'm having a little difficulty with the way the interviewer listens and respons to her story. This girl is sharing her trauma so vulnerable, and the interviewer doesn't validate her pain nor her experiences, and just pushed her own narritive in her questions. I would have liked to see her hold more space for her trauma, especially since that is the beginning of everything.
Very insensitive and rude. The interview is so good but the girl is so full of
Light shes not even touched by this lady’s negativity
Excellent interview. So grateful for Jac's humility and honesty in sharing her amazing story. Her great love for the Lord pours out. I pray that many are pulled out of the pit with opened eyes and saved through her story in the name of Jesus.
Bravo Jac.. such courage. I'm ex new age. I was very deceived thank God for his mercies, grace and forgiveness! I loooove Reedemer Bible Church. Jon the pastor feeds me, as does Costi. 5 star x
"She turned me into a newt!....I got better"
New sub....I had spiritual wisdom when all my friends feel into witchcraft age 14-22...and I realized much of what you have before ever falling for any of it...and I am grateful for that early discernment.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there?
I'm so happy you are now our sister in Christ! He is so awesome! I'm so glad your Grandfather visited you and told you the truth.
Thank you, Alisa and Jac for this needed conversation. Hearing Jac’s experience in the Occult, I could not but draw parallels with my background in Mormonism, as it is really under the umbrella of Spiritism.
LDS temple ceremonies are based in Freemasonry, the theology emphasizes spiritual experiences trumping the biblical truth and authority, and in all of the wrong paths, we will always see a never ending requirement for works for self-evolvement.
Love your handle!
@@elizabethbittala2779 Thank you, Elizabeth. Please, feel free to visit my channel. I do outreach to the LDS by contrasting Joseph Smith’s teachings with the standard of the biblical text.
Amen to that. Praise the Lord for opening your eyes as well. I'm also an ex-Mormon, now a Christian, and have just brought up your channel. Thanks for sharing this. I pray the Lord exposes the lies of Mormonism to increasing masses of Mormons.
I appreciate your thoughts -- things I had not considered in this light -- from someone who is also an ex-mormon. I am now non- / inter- denominational Christ follower. My sufficiency is in Christ alone.
@@someowens8569 Praising the Lord Jesus for your salvation also!!✝️❤️
When did you leave?
One of the most incredible testimonies I’ve heard.
So thankful you both addressed Disney, Harry Potter, etc. It grieves my spirit that these things are huge debates in the church. As said, all witch craft is EVIL. This should be a nonissue it’s so clear.
What about Lord of the Rings? It has magic but Tolkien was a Christian. In fact, he helped C.S. Lewis find his way into the church.
Sincere question. The Bible does forbid witchcraft. Does it forbid reading stories about witchcraft? If so how can it be OK to read about the witch of Endor?
@@sorenpx
While we are not to judge the motives of people, we can judge the works or words - unless they have repented before God.
He was a devout Catholic and very much an adorer of "Mary".
There are no doubt millions of geniune beleivers in Jesus in the Roman Catholic system; He knows those who are His.
But....
Jesus spoke nothing about us giving His Mum the attention that the Roman Catholic doctrine does. The apostles of Jesus calls us to focus entirely on Jesus Christ and no other.
To be a "Christian" is to follow Jesus in the way He commanded us to and that He taqught the apostles to likewise teach and command. Focusing on "Mary" is absent in the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is the power of God to salvation.
@@princeofdarkness1261
Why would you want to read stories about witchcraft?
If you are studying the teachings of a certain belief as in wicca, for the genuine purpose of being able to reach people who are caught in that realm, that is one thing; but it is entirely another to read fantasy stories of witchcraft, written by people who are into that scene, such as the authoress of Harry P. She said that the whole story (or part one) was downloaded to her by a "guiding spirit" in a train journey. (it was an unclean spirit a seducing spirit that gave her the rubbish)
There is no spiritual value in that, rather great danger.
@@princeofdarkness1261 I think it’s worth noting that the witch of Endor wasn’t the hero of the story. I have come to the conclusion that for me Harry Potter is very much a 1 Corinthians 8 issue. Stories of magic and witches/wizards etc are no stumbling block for me. I’m an avid reader and from a young age have been very good about pulling what is useful for me from stories and leaving everything else. As someone who grew up while the Harry Potter books were coming out I thought the concerns were absurd. From a very young age I had a clear picture of what was fantasy and what was reality and the idea that might be a struggle for people seemed beyond reason. But the last couple of decades have proven me wrong so if it a stumbling block from my brother I am willing to forgo it.
I never ever, ever ever, ever ever comment. but when I hear truth I can't refrain. From your hesitation of saying to much and your perception of being humble yet walking without fear, I've never seen any individual navigate a testimony so well, that you could experience the before and after, relate to the pain and the pleasure. Understand the false conviction and comprehend the divine intervention. This is why I do what I do and it all matters. Salute !
I appreciate the beauty of this Interview, and there are parts of this that are bothering for me. The realms of control and abuse in the church can be just as volatile and dangerous. My mom was abused by a "teacher" in the Catholic church who was "following" the bible and hit her hands bloody with a ruler for being a "child of the devil" for being left handed. There can be spiritual abuse and issues like this in ANY person, no matter what religion they claim to follow. Discernment is needed, and questioning what people are pushing on us as beliefs through shame,judgement,control, and guilt is crucial.
Well duh I mean it should be obvious If someone is doing things they shouldn’t be such as abuse & than using religion as a cover. That’s just a bad person period under the guise of using religion to do their evil acts. I’m sorry but it still amazes me how people cannot differentiate these things. Of course when you’re young you may be confused but on some core level you realize something isn’t right & when you’re old enough you can realize it wasn’t religion it was just the person. I’ve never read in the Bible to be beaten in the name
Of God. From what I read in second testament it’s about forgiveness & showing love. People are the ones who twist gods word to suit their own agenda.
They were the demons who accessed her when she was traumatised, as a innocent child so sad. The enemy is so evil.
Yes, I thought the same thing.
But here we have the holy spirit and Jesu
They put a LOT of effort into leading her astray. And what did they get? Nothing, lol. God saved her. And those demons couldn’t laugh, couldn’t gloat or revel in a dark victory. They lost, as a soul they had put so much effort into, one that probably to many would have appeared to be beyond saving, was won to the Kingdom. Praise God
Equal opportunity EVIL
They don't discriminate. Young or old. Pagan or Christian. Parent or child.
Thank you for addressing Audrey. After the listening to you and the coopers and the camps, I wondered about some of the musicians that had made such an impact on me early in my walk. Audrey was a huge part of that. And I had a sneaking suspicion , so I went to the internet. I was so devastated reading where she is now. My heart felt shattered. Not my faith. I want to be clear. No human has the power to sway me from the word of God. But shattered for a person I have never met and yet loved and held a place in my heart for. For the way she her music was so refreshing for me and comforting to me as I stepped away from the life I knew into a new life in Christ. I felt tears streaming down my face to know that she walked away
Her first album was sooo good, and when I first gave my life to Christ, I used to listen to it constantly. But...and I don't know how to really explain it, but even before I know that "Christian deconstruction/progressivism" was a thing, I had a weird feeling about her as her later albums started to come out. I was also not super loving the fact that she converted to Catholicism (although that in and of itself is not necessarily a sign of apostasy, I just have to wonder about someone's biblical discernment if they feel comfortable converting to a nearly-dead denomination). But I just felt there was something "off" about her album "Evergreen" and I stopped listening. Ironically, as with Amanda Lindsey Cook, who has also become Progressive and very new-agey, I have found that both their music has gone steeply down in quality the further they have drifted from biblical Christianity. It's funny that as both of them have started to idolize themselves more and more as "artists" and, frankly, to worship their art rather than the One who gave them their gifts, their music has just become extremely boring and mediocre. And now I see from Audrey's Instagram that she has gone full new age, and weird, and spiritual. It's tragic. But that just shows that we really cannot put people on pedestals, especially artists.
@@balipsette yes! All of that almost mimics a conversation i had with my daughters about it. I actually had the same concerns as you. But her final departure from faith entirely is just so heart breaking. I had always hoped she would come out of catholicism, but I didn't want her to abandon God in the process. How tragic
@@balipsette I didn't know about Amanda Cook changing. I haven't listened to her in a while but have her music saved in my YT playlist. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for shedding light into the darkness of this. As a grandma slowly watching my grandkids lured into such activity my heart breaks. Praying for them everyday that they are lead out of it.
Aliens ARE Demons. aka Familiar Spirits. SO SO thankful for your testimony!!! I can relate to your story. I’m SO SO thankful that you’re shining light on the darkness!!! This is going to HELP SO MANY people!!! Thank You 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I loved hearing Jac's story! I think the magic question is great. I do love Harry Potter but it was nice to hear from a non-judgemental and argumentative perspective on how/why magic for children is not good and what we need to do as Christian parents to prepare our kids for this. I got sucked into Mormonism for a bit and even that was portrayed to me as mystical and magical in a way that drew me in. Thank you Jac and Alisa for having this conversation and make me feel not alone.
Hi Kori,
My background is in Mormonism as well.
Watching this, I was thinking about how some teachings in Mormonism have parallels with the Occult. Temple ceremonies being based in Masonry, spiritual experiences trumping the authority of the biblical text, and the never ending works in search of self-evolving.
It breaks my heart to see so many deceived and thinking they are in the “only true church.”
Praising Jesus for your salvation and mine as well!
I'm from a polygamist offshoot of Mormonism, and even they have the same occult for rituals in their endowment houses that my mom had never talked about no matter how hard I've pressed even when her marriages failed
ALISA 👏🏼WE👏🏼 NEED 👏🏼MORE👏🏼 CONTENT LIKE 👏🏼THIS 👏🏼THIS WAS AMAZING
I'm so glad God led me to your channel. I thank God for the sister's deliverance. Truly God is so good. I am now a subscriber and will be watching every chance I get. May God Continue to bless you and your family.
I just came across this video and I think it may be the best interview I have seen. Thank you for allowing the guest to speak fully and listen completely. Very nice.
I can relate with your testimony, thank you so much. I wavered for so long in my walk and once I was confronted by my sins through a series of testimonies like this, I finally returned home to Jesus Christ! God is so faithful and merciful!!
What a great interview. I have had major concerns about the New Age practices seeping into the church. Also, Disney is absolutely evil. Last year when I woke up to all of this and began wholeheartedly pursuing Jesus, I actually felt completely revolted by these things that I was once entertained by and thought was harmless before.
The kundalini spirit seems to have snuck into so many churches and tries to say it is the Holy Spirit. A fruit of the spirit is self control. Sometimes I see this stuff and wonder if these people will have severe whiplash the next day from what their bodies are doing.
This last year I believe I have been delivered of so much through tears. I used to never cry, but I have had tears come so much as I pursued Jesus and felt so much lighter every time they came. Its not a hard cry, just tears and my heart softening. The Holy spirit isn't chaotic or distracting. Just things to keep in mind when in services...
Hi, what is the kundalini spirit? Thanks
@@rebeccaannan1 it's to do with hinduism/yoga, the serpent spirit coiled at the base of the spine and they encourage it to come up, tied in with opening the third eye (demonic)
@@firecarrier1 thanks for sharing, I thought I’d heard it before and wondered if it was something about yoga. Thanks 🙏
Amen and I'm so glad to hear your story but at the same time, I encourage you to remember and consider that God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit deal with each of the saints in their own way as we all are different and each have our own relationship with the LORD.
Parents deal with each child in their own particular way according to that relationship and that child.
In services we have to just compare what we see and hear to the word of God. I cry too when I become in awe of who Jesus is but the bible also says to dance for the Lord, shout unto God with a voice of triumph and praise, sing to Him, lift up holy hands, clap. These things should be normal even if they seem disruptive to some. And I've seen people experience God in a different way too but its also important not to judge a whole church if one person is doing something that may seem a little off. The church as a whole should follow the word of God
A great testimony. When Jac spoke of the crossroad when she was rescued from the domain of darkness and brought in to the kingdom of His Son is amazing. This happened to me. God rescued me as He rescued Jac. Praise and glory to the Lord God Almighty.
Amazing story. This gives me hope for my brother. I pray for him daily. Witchcraft was introduced to him by an adult when he was in elementary school. We grew up in a Christian home. By the time he was in middle school, he was letting demons loose in our home. He’s in his 20s now and the darkness of his life is deeper than ever.
Your guest is poised and a clear presenter! I'd love to hear more from her!
GREAT interview! You’re testimony is so amazing and I praise our Lord for your salvation!
After my own deliverance, I fell into circles that use a lot of new age in their teaching. And because I was Biblically illiterate I didn't know what they were espousing wasn't the truth. It took watching American Gospel to break the spell that I was under. Because indeed after being brainwashed with this teaching and being a huge part of these circles it did indeed feel like I was under a spell. And I cried as I watched American Gospel because the Truth was finally setting me truly free.
Great podcast great testimony I had a similar story with with studying the occult, ancient and new, feeling it was like a destiny type of pull. I was not raised in a Christian home but I did cry out to Christ. First I cried out to God then he sent me a sign of His Son and I cyed out to Jesus and was saved. This brings tears. Please pray for me. I have back slidin into drugs a little and backed off from church but I still know what the truth is. King of Kings and Lord of lords, the Messiah Jesus.
Please remain the light of the Lord's love, Nicholas. Think of how eternity spent with Christ Jesus will be. Plus, I don't want you to ingest drugs that have been laced with fentanyl. How awful that would be. Please remain in the family of faith, Nicholas.
Praise to our glorious God. Even the darkness is not dark to Him. I'm praying for those in my life, that God will call them out of darkness and into His marvelous light. Nothing is too difficult for Him!
Except confronting the dark side of the Purity movement, apparently.
Amen!
I've always had an uneasy feeling about Harry Potter but most everyone told me it's not a problem. It's interesting to hear Jac's take on it.
My aunt was wiccan over a decade, Harry Potter definitely is satanic and desensitizing! They use stones and spell conjuring, it's legitimately of satan. I wish it wasn't but it very much is
It has real spells in it. Teen Vogue is teaching kids how to use those spells
If a person is set up for the experience H Potter could give them then yes, it can be a problem. For me H Potter bounced off of me with no affect. It's like how some people are set up for or have a propensity to abuse alcohol, and others can have a drink every once in awhile and it does not become a sin issue.
Eh. It’s like when Paul talks about some things being okay for some and not for others. Some people can be in a bar without a problem, whereas it’d be a sin for someone else. Some people can read fiction and not make it into a key part of their identity and beliefs. Some people can’t watch silly reality shows bc they get too pulled into the world, etc. Each of us has something that is forbidden or bad for us but not for others, depending on our own personal sin natures.
@@christychapin8357 but it probably would be altogether wiser stay away from it all than find ourselves fall into temptation. Have been there done that. So, I'll just forgo anything that might even remotely tempt me. It all starts out quite innocent.
Thank you for sharing your testimony! I had such a similar childhood and yes- I also sought out the occult! But praise Jesus- He delivered me from those chains of oppression! ❤️🙏✝️
@deespence did your 3rd eye open ?
If so how did you close it
Very candid interview, recommend getting Father Chad Ripperger’s book,” Deliverance prayers for the use by laity “ There is a section towards the back, an appendix 1: list of sins, vices and spirits. And then in the very end appendix 3, prayers to break the freemasonic curse. God bless.
Alisa, I’m very glad your mother took the time to explain that magic is magic and is evil. This was a wonderful video and I forwarded it to my teen son. The occult draw is so strong today and growing larger by the media and science. Thank you
wow. no other words from me, just wow. Praise Jesus. He alone truly saves!!!
Amen to that
When I first converted, I was hanging out with a friend who's into new age stuff and she had a deck of tarot cards and kept asking me to pull one. I kept telling her no, and she kept pushing it. I don't think she actually believes in tarot cards. She thinks its just a fun game, but I tried explaining that evil doesn't care about what you think, and they will use you just the same. So, she eventually pulls a card on my behalf and it was the devil card, and I immediately told her, SEE!! And she was dumbfounded, but she put the card away and did a do-over card. It was as if God used that deck to show her what she was doing is evil, and she refused to see it.
The devil card represents the death of something or renewal, it isn't meant to be sinister...
Oh...? I taken LSD, mushrooms, and weed all at once.. I fell better and happy. I was suicidal, and angary till I did this. I gone to the other side.. Love!!!🥰🥰🥰 Anyway after my experience, I feel Jesus is here and real. It changed my life and soul. 😇😇😇 I knew Occults is crap!! Even some Churches and Pastors are crap!!!
What an amazing testimony. Jesus truly is the way, the truth, & the life!
What a wonderful and enlightening conversation! I am surprised how Alisa is kind of tiptoeing around the HP stuff?! Some of my friends who have come out from under the spell of the books and movies now think it is clearly demonic no matter how mainstream it is. But...keep up the great work!
I mean maybe not all Christians feel that way about HP
That’s utter nonsense
@@julianwalker9782 Then that's unfortunate. As Christians we're called to walk in wisdom and turn away from worldliness and all things occultic, regardless of our feelings. We are to walk and be guided by the Spirit of Christ not our fleshly feelings, regarding these matters. Evil entities thrive on people allowing their feelings to govern them. God is very specific regarding the plight of those engaging and embracing magic, occultism, witchcraft, soccery, and divination in any form, including entertainment. Believe me there's a price to pay and it leads to undesired attachments.
I agree with you. At the end of the day which is better the Bible's new testament or Harry Potter? I add rhetorically. As fot Harry Potter. Its a real detraction for the holy spirit
Psychedelic experiences are meant to help you see things differently. They are not meant to be relied on. As a matter a fact, people don’t usually want to do them on a regular basis after having one. They are actually not helpful if you abuse them and do them for the wrong reasons. They are helpful if used in the right context. I myself have done a low dose of mushrooms and it has helped me see the love and connection to everyone and everything. I don't understand how experiencing love is a bad thing. Psychedelic experiences aren’t a magic bullet because you still have to work through your trauma after having one. They are like tools that come from nature itself. People like to stomp on things that they fear. They will fear something if they don’t understand it.
Jesus does not use drugs to shed His love abroad in our hearts. He is more powerful than that. The cross of Christ is the demonstration of the love and power of God. It is more real than any other thing. He that comes to God must believe that He is and He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. Ask Him to give you His Holy Spirit,,reveal His finished work on the cross.Not of our works but what He has done is our salvation. Read the gospel of John and Hebrews and Romans.I
I was raised Southern Baptist by my preacher father and mother. When I was 13, my “man of God” father abandoned our family. I was in a tailspin and a crisis of faith for many, many years. I fell into deep and dark depression and was over prescribed SSRI drugs by my family physician for over a decade. Mushrooms came into my life on their own almost 5 years ago. I had never tried them and never thought to. I started seeing research about how psilocybin was being used to treat people before the mushrooms were presented to me. A friend asked me if I wanted to try them days after I found this info. I emphatically said yes. I was on the verge of suicide and claiming atheism. I started working with them and know that I was filled with the Holy Ghost. The Truth of Christ was revealed to me through the power of the One and Only God THROUGH HIS creation. The world tried to fix me…God was all that could save me.
@@bevie29 I used to say the same things as you. You only fear what you don’t understand. The reason I chose to do mushrooms is because I was diligently seeking him. I always had questions. The Bible would only bring more questions. I have found what I’m looking for and I am more free than I used to be.
@@leaveroomtogrow1069 So you are saying you fear coming to God without a mind altering
drug to help? People do drugs because they want something , but probably isn't God.
They actually want peace without God. I.E. the cosmic universe. Marijuana
has the same effect expands the mind and hardens the heart against the truth. It is a false sense
of peace. When I had major surgery they gave me something very mind altering
but it was fake. I would rather be clear headed and experience the Holy Spirit
and know exactly what He can do in my life all by Himself. God is not brain chemicals that have been re arranged, He is a real person. We come to know Him on His terms , not ours. Jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. My grandmother prayed through for salvation and it took many
hours of intense sincere prayer and at the end she had a vision of Jesus.
I also saw the Lord and powerfully felt His presence for weeks when I was converted. Listening to sound preaching of the scriptures was life changing.
Ask and you shall receive.
Just loved her honesty💖
Particularly liked the examples she gave of how SUBTLE evil can be so people who don't know God very well can be easily deceived. As it is written "My children are DYING from lack of knowledge!"
Amen! So soooooooo deceiving is that evil fallen angel and his demons. Glory to Jesus Christ and HIS gift of spiritual discernment. Hallelujah to Jesus Christ!!
By God's amazing grace I never was into anything such as she describes. When I was first saved I read some books by Christians who had been delivered from Satanic deceptions.
I praise God He delivered this young woman!
This entire interview was a blessing - thank you both and God bless you both!
Her testimony is so powerful... I relate so much to the obedience... I'm so sorry she had to go through hell, but her life story and deliverance and exposing the true power of our Lord is unbelievably overwhelmingly thankfulness
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe😎😎😎
Elohim's sovereign mercy and grace - so wonderful!
